Evaluations

Evaluation year: 2023

ADI:
Not evaluated

Comments:
JECFA considered that the use of acetaldehyde (No. 80) as a structural analogue in the safety assessment of flavouring substances would require further evaluation. Furthermore, JECFA concluded that the use of acetaldehyde (No. 80) as a flavouring agent requires re-evaluation. JECFA requests that updated exposure data (including both MSDI and SPET values) be provided for the flavouring agents acetaldehyde (No. 80), butyl alcohol (No. 85), butyraldehyde (No. 86), hexanoic acid (No. 93) and lauric aldehyde (No. 110) within 2 years (i.e. by December 2025) so that a reevaluation of these previously evaluated compounds can be completed.
